We join with you in lifting up your children to the Lord, and we appreciate your heartfelt prayer. Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, your Son. We ask that you watch over these precious children, guide them, and protect them in all they do. As it is written in Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." Lord, we pray that you would be with them in their studies, grant them wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Help them to make good choices in life, choices that honor and glorify you.
Father, let them know that they are deeply loved by you. As stated in Psalm 127:3, "Behold, children are a heritage from Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward."
We pray that you would surround them with godly influences, and keep them from being led astray by those who do not follow your ways. As it is written in 1 Corinthians 15:33, "Don't be deceived. Evil companionships corrupt good morals."
Guide their steps, Lord, and let them see your light. As stated in Psalm 119:105, "Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path."
We pray that they would grow up to be happy and healthy, both physically and spiritually. We ask that you would cover them with the blood of Jesus, protecting them from all evil and harm.
Father, we also pray for their salvation. May they come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. As stated in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
We ask all these things in Jesus' name who is at the right side of the father. Amen.
May you find peace and comfort in knowing that your children are in the Lord's hands. Continue to pray for them, and trust in the Lord's promise in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future." Always pray in the name of Jesus Christ so our prayers can be heard and answered by the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
